Who rebuilds gauges?

[patrick66]

I need my fuel gauge on my '66 Imperial rebuilt. A full tank reads at half, and at Empty, I have near a half- tank of gas left.

Anyone have a good rebulider in mind?

It's probably the sender causing your problem. Sounds like the float could be sunk.

If you were to ground the feed wire at the sender, turn the key to 'on', does the dash gauge go to full? I used to use a remote starter push button for this as my shop was a one man show.

Great tip!!

I was checking mine at the sensor wire, as I was rewiring my car. And, was getting resistance in the right range from the sender, but a bit flakey. So finally put on new gauge and it was reading but flakey. So pulled the tank and replaced the sender....all good now, or gooderer as I say. Check resistance on sender wire with different fuel levels....and it will give you a clue.

extra resistance from a bad tank ground could throw it off

The car has a new tank, new sending unit with float, and the ground strap. My old tank leaked. After I did the swap, the gauge reads exactly the same with the new parts versus the old parts. This is why I suspect the gauge itself.

These guys do a nice job.
